This espresso machine is easy to use and looks great
It makes really good espresso and the steamer also works well, once you get the hang of it
It has a decent-sized water reservoir and is really a good buy, but it is badly made. Mine broke and friend's broke, quite quickly
We both moved on to Breville, which cost double, but is a lot more well made and makes equally good, if not better, espresso

CrosswireAbsolutely terrible product, it leaks everywhere.
aphillipsAs home coffee machines go this is by far the best for the money. Milk frothing will always be weak until you get to high levels but for the home espresso love this is perfect. Cleaning function is also excellent.
Darren DohenyMy boyfriend is a barista, and he loved it!
emillieI AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PRODUCT - IMY OPINION IS THAT IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK DISGUISED AS A COFFE MACHINE.THE PORTAFILTER LEAKED AND DID NOT FIT PROPERLY.THE MACHINE WOULD TURN ON WHEN STUGGLING WITH THE PROTAFILTER.I WILL NEVER BUY A DE'LONGHI PRODUCT AGAIN
Roystonwork as I starred!
HOSSI bought this for my son. He loves it but only has one complaint. The steam jet is not adjustable which means you cannot make nice creamy milk as it becomes bubbly.
CJPurchase of the year. Elegant, efficient, extremely well made, small footprint - it ticks all the boxes and makes great espresso. Ready in twenty seconds from switch on, then a few seconds between each pour, I really cannot fault it in any way. It even just switches itself off after ten minutes (or your programmable preference) so you really don't think about anything other than your supremely cremed coffee. It's also incredibly quiet, no gurgling, boiling sounds, it's fast, efficient and beautiful.

Nigel A.Good coffee, if settings are tampered with after a few uses, I am used to an industrial machine so it wasn't ideal for me as I didn't like the fact you had to weight for the water to boil..then wait for the temperature to drop to use the steam wand..330ml pitcher required as the steam wand is very short. Volume of the milk was to high before it would even be near the right temperature.
isaac rookeIs small and makes nice coffee, still using it after few years.
A DEL CAMPO DEL CORRALLeaked all over the worktop from day 1 for no obvious reason. Returned as faulty and will see if replacement does the same thing...
.... UPDATE...
The replacement machine does not leak and makes fantastic coffee- I clearly just got a dud one first time round. Worth the hassle of returning machine number one because this one is fab.
(Didn't give 5 stars because of quality of first machine)

avoglerAs mentioned by other reviewers, don't expect perfect coffee straight away. Persevere and it'll come right. The machine is a lovely looking piece of equipment.
wilfredFantastic...Love love love it. Instant coffee and the frother is superb. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. particularly good size if you don't have much space in your kitchen.
Amazon CustomerFantastic coffee maker. Looks awesome and the coffee tastes great too. Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly as some people are giving negative comments due to them incorrectly using the machine. All in all well worth it.
Martin NorrellJust love this coffee maker , you can do black coffee , with milk or if you want it makes a great cappuccino , only takes a minute to get hot and away you go ,
jayneVery,very good
Amazon CustomerI always used to enjoy my ground coffee in a french press. My partner would always jokingly call it posh coffee.
That was until I went on holiday to Italy and realised what 'posh coffee' really was.
Needless to say when I got back home, my 'posh coffee' just wasn't scratching the itch.
An espresso machine was needed! and this was my choice. It's a great machine. Compact and makes great coffee.
